How big of a star wars fan are you? Have you been into it your whole life, making this some sort of a dream come true for you, or was it just something that kinda just happened?

Haha. That's the only sensible reaction, in my opinion.

I am a practicing engineer and my focus is on tall buildings in high seismic areas. To answer your question, it depends. Mainly, if the building is older than about 30 years, the greatest risk is that the geotechnical portion of the design (i.e. the foundation) may be inadequate to handle the effects of phenomenon such as liquefaction or lateral spreading. If the building is older than that, the reliability still may or may not be lower than modern buildings, the only problem is when it was built, the way uncertainty was handled in design did not quantify the potential for failure in an earthquake event (or at all for that matter). This is one of the reasons why American (for example) infrastructure has been called into question more publicly in recent time. We need money to perform maintenance and monitor old structures. As far as I know, the same issues persist in places like Vancouver too. So, should you be worried? Maybe a little. I wouldn't be too concerned about a building collapse from ground shaking alone but if the building is sitting on saturated sandy material and/or there is a potential for fire due to old lifeline connectivity, then there might be fair grounds for concern. Of course, if your building is relatively new, I wouldn't sweat it.
